Hi all,by typing netsh interface ipv4 show route/addressesheres what i got :Publish Type Met Prefix Idx Gateway/Interface Name------- -------- --- ------------------------ --- ------------------------No Manual 256 127.0.0.0/8 1 Loopback Pseudo-Interface1No Manual 256 127.0.0.1/32 1 Loopback Pseudo-Interface1No Manual 256 127.255.255.255/32 1 Loopback Pseudo-Interface1No Manual 256 224.0.0.0/4 1 Loopback Pseudo-Interface1No Manual 256 255.255.255.255/32 1 Loopback Pseudo-Interface1 Configuration for interface "ZIGZAG" DHCP enabled: No IP Address: x.x.x.x Subnet Prefix: x.x.x.x/32 (mask 255.255.255.255) Default Gateway: x.x.x.x Gateway Metric: 1 InterfaceMetric: 50 Configuration for interface "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1" DHCP enabled: No IP Address: 127.0.0.1 Subnet Prefix: 127.0.0.0/8 (mask 255.0.0.0) InterfaceMetric: 4275i tried deleting this interface :Configuration for interface "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1" DHCP enabled: No IP Address: 127.0.0.1 Subnet Prefix: 127.0.0.0/8 (mask 255.0.0.0) InterfaceMetric: 4275but right after that internet explorer would not work,only AV updates and windows updates!!!!and the same happens by deleting routes but unlike the first one internet explorer works however it sucks and takes 10 secs for each websites which i believe that loopback interface is designed to check the destination avaibility and stuff...so any help is greatly appreciated!PS: by deleting the loopback address when typing netstat -a i couldnt see the high range ports anymore like 127.0.0.1:54355(those dynamic ports i was trying to delete a while ago but internet explorer no longer will work.

The Loopback interfaces are used by applications to communicate with theOS. You should notdelete them.

Hello ITPrivateer,thanks for replying to my thread,yah thats what i figured ^^ ,but just one thing i would like to ask ya... do u see anything out of the ordinary in those routes i printed?thnaks in advance,RR

Hi ddos_evaderI can back up itprivateeron that post. There appears nothing unusual in the routes. The 127 routes are asbeen said loopbacks to your own machine which is normally apps using this path to communicate. They are going nowhere else. The 224.0.0.0 is the standard multicast address so nothing to worry about there.The only thinf I am not sure of is zigzag.malc

Hi Malc,yeah i figured that the multicast wouldnt be something to worry about as well,oh btw thanks for replying adn enforcing the post above!!about the ZIGZAG hmm...hehhe its the name i gave to my dialup connection ^^ so nothing worng with that too which makes me feel more confortable...not that i was worried about but i was just trying to discover something to make it even better hehheim always looking for new setttings thats kind of addiction i cant get rid of lol !thanks to all for ur opinions i really appreciate that :DKind regards,RR

taking the same hook bout netsh commands ,im looking for some suggestions/opnions about some changes ive made via netsh ...netsh interface ipv4/6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disablednetsh interface ipv4/6 set global groupforwardedfragments=enabled(its enabled but i tried to disable it and looked bit worse in terms of performance)netsh interface ipv4/6 set global mldversion=version1(it was set to version3)any input is greatly appreciated!!regards,RR
